RUMFORD — No one was hurt when a two-story home on Route 108 burned late Friday.

Firefighters from Rumford and three nearby towns — Mexico, Peru and Dixfield — answered the emergency call at about 8 p.m., Rumford Assistant Chief Chris Bryant said.

Bryant declined to answer whether the home, located at No. 153, was occupied at the time of the fire. A passer-by reported the fire, he said.

On Friday, a neighbor told the Sun Journal that the house had been recently vacated.

Bryant declined to speculate on the cause of the fire, saying that it was “under investigation.”

Damage to the house was most severe on the porch, he said.
